THE E

The New York World on Tuesday asst cell
ebratcd the attainment of a circulation Of a
quarter Of q million copies per day. The
World asked Mr.. O'Reilly to write a poem for
the occasion, which was printed at the head
Of the anniversary number.
Gods order, "Light!" when all was void and
dark
Brought mornless noon, a flame without q
spark.
A gift unearncd, that none may hold or hide,
An outer glory, not an inner guide;
But famed no star in heaven to light the soul
And lead the wayward thought towards Free
dom's goal.
o wasted ages! Whittier have you led
The breeding masses for their daily breail
Engendered serfs, across q world Of gloom,
The warlike generations reach the tomb.
Masters and lords, they felt a lords decree,
Nor freedom knew nor truth to make them
free.
But bark! IA sound has reached the eervile
hcrdl
Strong brows are raised to catch the passing
word;
From mouth to mouth a common whisper
dies;
A wilddre message burns on lips and eyes;
Far off and near the kindred tidings throng-
How hope comes true, how heroes challenge
wrong;
How me have rights above all laws DEGREES;
How weak ones rise and sweep the thrones
like seas;
Behold! The people listen-ques,ion! Their
The inner light has come-thc Doors are men!
What read ye hcre-a drcamer's idle rule?
A swelling pedaat's lesson for q schoola
Nay, here no dreaming, no deluslve charts;
But common interests for common hearts;
A Truth, a Principlc-beneath the sun
One vibrant throb-men's rights and wrongs
are one;
One hearts small keyboard touches all the
notes;
One weak ones cry distends the millton
threats;
Nor race nor nation bounds the human
White, yellow, backbone conscience and one
mind!
How spreads the doctrines See the teachers
fly
The printed message ecross the sky;
From land TO land, as never birds could wing
With songs Of promise birds could never
sing;
With mighty meanings clearing here and
there;
With nations greetings kings could never
share;
With new communions whispering near and
far;
With gathering armies bent on peace, no,
war;
With X indy juGgte ,t.dirg righteous laws
With strength and cheer for every struggling
cause.
Roll on, o cylinders Of light, and teach
The helpless myriads tongue can never reach
Make men, not masses; pulp and mud
unite
The single grain Of sand reflects the light.
True freedom makes the individual free;
And common law for all make Liberty!
John BOYLE O,Reilly.

How the German Made 1t All Right.

A clothing firm occupying a promi-
nent corner in Chicago, concluded
some weeks ago that on the LIST of May
it would extend its first-foor room by
leasing the quarters then occupied by
a german saloonkeeper. The clothing
people already occupied the floors
above the saloon on lease, and by a
sort of arrangement with the owner of
the block had q call on the ground.
floor whenever they were ready to pay
the rental demanded. This time hav-
ing arrived, the manager of the cloth
ing store, in order to avoid misunder-
standing with the German, and posi-
bly, to prevent ruinous competition in
bids for the lease, called ON the saloon
keeper, and in q friendly way remarked
that he guessed his firm would take
the store room after the LIST of May,
and that the dispenser of beer and
pretzels had better be looking out for
new quarters.
.sBut I don't want to move." pre-
tested the German.
"Well. but you'll have to. You're a
poor man and We are rich, and We
can pay three Nmes as much for this
store room as you. Il you'll 90 ont

A Veteran Knife.

Those who frequent the court room
have noticed an elderly man sitting
usually at the end of one of the long
tables with his arm resting thereon. At
the least disturbing noise, loud whisper
ing, moving about the room, squeaky
boots, this quiet gentleman is noticed
rapplng loudly on the table and looking
around as if he would willingly fine the
dlsturbers for making more noise than
he does by the rapping. The end of the
table is we'll dented with the daily use of
his peculiar gavel. That gentleman is
10 Morse, Of Loveland. The gavel which
he uses rs baillff in preserving order is a
plain looking pocketknife. 1t is knife
with more history than blades. 1t is
sixty years old and was owned by his
father before him. The veteran knife is
worth examination, its construction
being so different from the present man
ner of make. The back is enclosed so
that the springs do not appear and when
what is. left of the blades are opened
there is no raising or lowering of the
back of the knife. 1t isa curiosity, not
merely on account of its peculiar make
and its age, but also because it has not
long since wandered off into the pocket
of someone else than the owner. 1t Is
welded daily by Mr.. Morse and rings
out as hearty a rap as in its younger
days, its voice not weakening in the least.

Wilson Wants Damages.

In the district court the case of Wilson
VS.. the City is being tried. The plaintiff
claims heavy damages on account of the
Indian creek cutting away portion of
his residence property during the great
flood years ago. In drawing the jury
there seemed to be strong desire on the
part of the plaintiff to bar out all persons
paying taxes, apparently on the theory
that such persons would be inclined to
favor the other side, and that they would
hesitate about rendering Judgment
against the city, as they would have to
stand their share of the tax necessary to
pay the same. The plaintiff claims that
the city by the manner of constructing
its yiaduct at Bryant street, and by other
improvements reduced the natural water
way so that the water could not have a
free passage, aud thus his property was
damaged.
Mr.. Wilson and wife are here in person.

think of it, that order has travelled over

"A FATAL DRUNK.
Andy Davy Has Both Legs Taken or
BY the Cars,


Last night Andy Davy met with an ac-
cident at the dummy depot which will
probably result fatally. He was quite
drunk and was staggering about
on the switch track between
the two platforms, when the
freight was switched in. He was
struck by the cars, and the wheel passed
over him, cutting off both legs below the
knees. He also received some cuts and
bruises, mainly about the head. 1t is not
thought that he can recover. He
is about twenty-three years of age.
and has been hack-drivcr here for some
time. Lately he has been at work III
miles ont. His parents live here, near
the Rock Island depot. He was married,
but did not reside with his wife. He was
taken to st. Joseph's hospital in Omaha
on the 1925 dummy last night.

The Sewer Contract.

The city engineer has figured out the
various bids on the sewer contracts, and
has prepared his report to be presented
TO the council this evening. 1t was
thought by the reading of the bids be-
fore they were tabuiated and figured
through that Reagan Bros. were the
lowest, but this proves to be mistaken
notion. The bids were close, there being
four of them, the highest and lowest OF
which were not $4,000 apart, the total
amount of the work beng between
e55, 900 and $6U.OOO. 1t now appears that
w. +. Wightman and George Miller,
who is interested in the Wightman con,
tract, are the lowest bidders, and to them
will doubtless be awarded the contract.
